In recent years the selection of 4×4 commercial SUVs available for agricultural buyers to choose from has become quite lean.

The 2025 Farmers Weekly Ultimate Guide, however, includes both additional models to existing ranges and some completely new entrants.

The UK’s current taxation regime is clearly a major influence in terms of what is available.

This is because most “commercials” are adaptations of standard passenger SUVs, including several new entrants: the Ineos Grenadier, Skoda Enyaq, KGM Rexton and the revamped Toyota Land Cruiser.

Diesel power continues to dominate, while mild hybrid technology helps soften emissions penalties; the new Skoda Enyaq commercial is the only fully electric vehicle in this year’s listings.

KGM Rexton Commercial

KGM has added commercial versions of the Rexton SUV to its range.

Three equipment levels all share the same driveline with a 2.2-litre, 202hp diesel engine and an eight-speed automatic gearbox with high and low ranges plus selectable four-wheel drive.

Maximum payload capacity is 700kg and it will tow trailers up to 3,500kg. Standard warranty is five years or 100,000 miles.

Land Rover Defender Hard Top

The Land Rover Defender commercial line-up has evolved with the addition of a top X equipment level in both 90 and 110 wheelbase variants.

This includes air suspension as standard (a pricey option on other models), and upgraded seats, wheels, internal and external styling features, and a wide selection of on- and off-road driver aids.

Elsewhere in the line-up, previous 300hp models are now upgraded to 350hp, and there is a choice of 250hp or 350hp diesel power units for the popular X-Dynamic HSE versions.

Land Rover Discovery

Few changes to the commercial line-up, although the new D350 model designation reflects engine upgrades from the previous D300 300hp power units to 350hp.

Skoda Enyaq

Skoda recently announced a commercial version of its 4×4 Enyaq SUV (pictured top).

Converted from passenger to load carrying format in the UK and designed to meet Light Commercial Vehicle requirements, the Enyaq will be available initially to fleet customers.

The company hasn’t yet made clear how many vehicles constitute a fleet.

With a high standard specification and a powerful 210kW motor, the vehicle features a rear load barrier for driver and passenger protection and an electric opening rear door.

Toyota Land Cruiser

A new Land Cruiser Commercial based on the latest long-wheelbase model has replaced the previous smaller version.

The conversion to commercial specification is carried out at Toyota’s own manufacturing plant in Derbyshire.

This includes permanent removal of the rear seats, installation of a full-height steel and mesh load bulkhead and replacing the rear windows with opaque steel inserts.

There’s just one Commercial derivative – there were four before – and it features an extremely high equipment level as standard, well above that of any previous model.

Included for the first time is a clever system that disconnects the front stabiliser bar to maximise wheel-to-ground contact on uneven terrain.

Power is from a 2.8-litre diesel engine driving through an eight-speed automatic transmission with selectable high and low ranges.

A mild hybrid version will be added later.
